Luke 10:5

10:5 Whenever ¹  you enter a house, ²  first say, ‘May peace ³  be on this house!’

Luke 12:55

12:55 And when you see the south wind ⁴  blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and there is.

[10:5]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:5]  ² tn Grk “Into whatever house you enter.” This acts as a distributive, meaning every house they enter; this is expressed more naturally in English as “whenever you enter a house.”

[10:5]  ³ sn The statement ‘May peace be on this house!’ is really a benediction, asking for God’s blessing. The requested shalom (peace) is understood as coming from God.

[12:55]  ⁴ sn The south wind comes from the desert, and thus brings scorching heat.
